KPMG in India’s experience in information protection advisory, understanding of various data privacy requirements and adoption of data protection technology measures on different technology platforms coupled with Forcepoint’s skills in delivering modern cybersecurity products and solutions which safeguard critical data and IP thus makes for a compelling proposition.

Help identify and locate critical information within the enterprise (Process based coupled with e-discovery mechanisms)
Help develop various policies and processes, including classification to protect sensitive data

Raghavendra BV, partner and head cyber transformation services, KPMG in India, said, “The KPMG in India and Forcepoint partnership is a powerful combination. Forcepoint’s understanding of today’s complex business needs, through a converged platform that offers better visibility and control against theft or loss of sensitive data, is also uniquely complimentary to how a KPMG in India team works. Our partnership will allow us to drive far more business impact for our clients, thereby unlocking the full potential of digital transformation, allowing us to place them on the best path to success in the new digital business landscape in a secure manner.”
Surendra Singh, senior director of regional sales, India at Forcepoint, said, “Forcepoint has the strategic advantage in being a leader in the increasingly crowded global SASE market, but we cannot deliver this to customers without our global channel partners.
